We are having a problem with our Bosch....FLOODED BIG TIME---water spilling out everywhere---only seems to happen on the "full wash" (not the quick wash).

We've checked everything internal like the food grinder, drains etc...

Just pulled it out from the wall and not sure where to go from here.

We over use our dishwasher sometimes running 2 to 3 loads a day....so not something we can really live without.

Any suggestions/starting points/tips or tricks would be most helpful.

Thanks to all of those who contributed to this thread, especially crhisscw who added the more recent service training manual. In the spirit of paying this kind of altruistic effort forward, I did a detailed Youtube video showing how I replaced the impeller of my Bosch dishwasher, using the above training manual as a guide. I hope it helps somebody else. I posted a link back to here in case people can use more detail in this thread.

Thank you! Forum and Communities experts say 'you find it in forums', and they're dead-on. :) I searched high and low for a technical manual for my parent's shi6805uc/006 that was flooding onto the floor. After a few tests, it looks like my mom has used too much detergent--after three rinse only cycles, it's still foaming out of the washer. :(

I'll run some more tests in the morning. I'm thinking a block of solid Cascade is sitting in the drain pan (if that's what it's called) and is just sudsing up each time water is being drained/filled. I wish the door that holds the detergent would stay shut--couldn't really find a solution in the manual to that problem besides replacing it. :(

That's what I thought too, but she used the same Cascade gel that she's used before. :confused: I don't know why it's causing problems, but I'm going to try the powdered form we have once I get it clear again.

I searched for any type of 'soap ball' somewhere in the dishwasher and nothing. :confused: The only thing I noticed was water in the small pit below the metal filter cover even after a drain cycle. Is that normal?

Thank for clearing that up Simon. :)

I've been running the rinse and hold program for a few minutes and then draining it. Even without adding any soap, the bottom drain will be soapy. After about 7 cycles, it seems as if its finally becoming clear.

I plan to run each of the cycles in full or use the test mode to do so to double check all the soap is out before trying a load with soap.
